  It was doomed from day 1. Surprised it took this long.

  Just got the email from Netflix. Its laughable. We are switching to Blockbuster's service. Its cheaper and you can get games too.

  Does Blockbuster have streaming on the Wii?

  Reed Hastings should be fired. He's tarnished the company's [brand] image.

  They need to think through these things better....what the hell.

  Surrounded by a bunch of "Yes" men, who are afraid to tell him he was being a dumbass.

  Worst. CEO. EVAR.
  
  He's the anti-Steve Jobs.

  He forced me out as a customer. As soon as my rates went up 60%, I was gone.

  This dude is hilariously bad at running a major company.

  How can you be smart enough to start a company like this, but dumb enough to run it into the ground like this?

  Crazy isn't it? I'm so close to canceling it. They already forced my hand to get rid of the DVD service. If it wasn't for all the kids shows they stream that my daughter loves, I'd have canceled it already.
  
  We still have a local Blockbuster, and their package is so much better. Sadly, they don't offer streaming. Though, Netflix has seen their streaming selection dwindle down since the Starz partnership ended.

  I dont have cable till the 18th (since I moved) which is the only reason I still have streaming. Ill be cancelling before the next billing period.

  I cancelled because I just didn't use it enough. Not enough good streaming available.

  Blockbuster does offer the new releases 30 days before Netflix and Red Box.

  i think even the joke that is Time Warner advertises stuff is available on demand before its available on Netflix. i dont use netflix, but this girl i know has it. its rare to find a movie worth watching. although i did find this extremely cheesy 80s raunchy B movie to watch. entertained me for a little bit since there were boobs in it.

  Yes but did you then try to feed a stray cat to an ATM?
